	PRESENTATION THE VALLESPIR The Tech-valley is covered with vast oak and chestnut forests interchanged with pastures. The climate is warm as it is the southernmost region of the country but during the summer some refreshment is brought by the river Tech which springs in the Canigou-massif. A medieval city (Arles-sur- Tech), a health resort (Amélie-les-Bains), a town which has been fortified by Vauban (Pratts-de-Mollo), nature sites of great beauty (Les Gorges de la Fou), the majestic Canigou (2807m) which dominates the region, itineraries of roman, baroque and gothic art, a Modern Arts Museum (Céret), all of this and much more is awaiting you in the Vallespir. Here, the catalan traditions survive in a live tissu of small and pittoresque villages. MUSEUMS The Modern Arts Museum CERET Picasso, Matisse, Juan Gris, Maillol, Dufy, Dali...
